Hall H Panel– The studio’s panel on Thursday, July 18th will feature the first footage ever seen of the futuristic thriller and a Q&A with DIVERGENT’S filmmakers and cast, including novelist Veronica Roth, director Neil Burger, and cast members Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Miles Teller, Maggie Q, Ansel Elgort, Mekhi Phifer, Ben Lamb, Ben Lloyd-Hughes and Christian Madsen.
Convention Floor Booth – Summit Entertainment’s booth located within the Grand Hall will highlight DIVERGENT. Exclusive premium promotional items will be distributed to the attendees walking the convention floor and cast members will sign autographs for booth visitors.
Anyway, I was concerned there was NOTHING worth standing in line for at Comic Con for me, and I was going to have to spend the whole week on the beach, eating tacos, but turns out Divergent stuff might be good enough for me to stand in a line for Hall H for a few hours. I max out at 3 hours though. And by 3 hours, I think I actually mean 30 minutes…
Anyway, to celebrate this fabulous Comic Con update, I thought I’d let you in on recent conversation between a few of us TNers (BY THE WAY– that is a terrible name. Anyone have any better ideas? Speaking of names, what will Divergent Fans be called? Divergent-hards? Divergenters? Di-hards (kinda like that one)) that involved Theo James.
My friend April of TrisandFour.com alerted me to a short film called Monsoon Nights that Theo was in in his college days. And she shared a few spectacular gifs.
We call this Thrusting Theo
Bekah: I give you “Magic Four”
Elise: Where is this from?
Bekah: My dreams. Or maybe nightmares. It’s from some short film he did??
Elise: It’s so…aggressive. Violent
Bekah: He must be insane in the sack Or terrible. Could go either way
Nikki: Wait. What is thrusting at me?!?? That all looks painful
Elise: Reminds me of sex and the city “jackrabbit” Or jackhammer?
Bekah: I think the worst part is the bootcut jeans
Beth: I need him. He’s obviously silly and wonderful. That guy in the background is all …No
Nikki: The jeans are the most regrettable choice in this gif
Elise: Background guy just walked in on something he doesn’t understand
Bekah: I think he has a tucked in shirt with a belt
Elise: Is this a Dauntless mating ritual? It looks tribal.
Beth: It looks excessive. Like everyone was like “the fangirls want you theo” and he answered with “oh yeah this is what they get”
Bekah: If we ever get a chance to interview him, I’m DEFINITELY asking for a reenactment.
Nikki: On Camera? In my bedroom? With us?
Bekah: Is that a question? All of the above
Elise: I wonder if it would be better at normal, not-gif speed. That wouldn’t fix the pants
Bekah: I think you answered the question
Casual Barrons
Beth: Just realized he’s dressed like casual Barrons. BBQ Barrons.
Bekah: Barrons doesn’t need to thrust like that
Nikki: Barrons would hurt someone doing that
Elise: Oy. Now I’ve looked at the second one for so long that I notice background guy subtly humping in four’s direction
Nikki: Clearly this was when he was in the stage version of the full Monty??
Jamie: Whoa, I missed 42 texts from you guys.
Here it is in all its glory: Theo James, Monsoon Nights
Bekah: Allright, who is watching that for us?
Beth: I tried. I failed. But I was right about BBQ Barrons. That shirt looks silky. Did anyone else try to watch that?
Bekah: No. Is it worse than watching that shitty you tube vid of Rob Pattinson from that TV movie with the terrible sweater and he loves a pregnant girl??? Cuz I loved that one. Even though it was split into multiple vids.
Elise: I did. I skipped forward every few min to try to find the gif source
Jamie: I got about 30 seconds in and stopped
Bekah: Is it better in slow mo? Sexy, even?
Elise: The gif source is only in the final credits. But he plays a pig so there are potential sexual gifs
Beth: No. Not better than Rainbow Ron. Not sexy. Not a good gif source Elise must have watched more than me
Elise: I watched more than I’d like to admit
Bekah: (You mean all of it. Twice)
Elise: There’s one close up of his face that wasn’t terrible. But he has an earring and is wearing a middle finger ring
Nikki: Convinced. I will defs be watching this middle finger ring movie now
Elise: Here, I screen capped a few for you:
Nikki: Oh hai lips
Jamie: I don’t find him attractive in some of those.
Bekah: That’s hot. Go home Jamie!
Elise: And then this bc he’s a perv
Bekah: Well she’s asking for it with that shirt *kidding
Elise: He plays a douche who hits a girl in the face. It wasn’t hot
Bekah: He totally looks like he does douche well in this- could see him in his dads’s plane- Rich Kids of Instagram style
Elise: My favorite part though is that the director misspelled the name of his own film in the title on Vimeo
Bekah: I feel like you could review this film
Elise: I might as well at this point.
So basically… we’re excited for Divergent at Comic Con. And you should be too because I PROMISE that after I stuff my face with tacos oand wait in line for Hall H for MAX 30 minutes our coverage will be really good.
What do you think about Thrusting Theo in BBQ Barrons wardrobe? Are you going to be at Comic Con?
